Letter: I am not willing to jump into a pond for Lime Bikes


Dear Editor, 

I found a Lime bike thrown in the pond at Barham Park. See above photo. I tried contacting Lime but all contacts expect you to quote a plate number and I am not jumping into pond to read it.  

 

Shame that Brent Council decided to still allow them to operate in the area.  They appear to be dumped everywhere around the borough. Perhaps more residents could send photos of this.

Just goes to show what idiots ride these bikes, haven't a care about other people or wildlife.

I have asked the Council to remove it and charge Lime for the cost of doing so.

You can report abandoned Lime bikes on Brent Fix My Street - you can upload a photo of where it's abandoned ...

Brent's Glorious Labour Leader promised to sort out the mess with the Lime bikes. Mess created by Labour Councillors who entered into a pathetic contract which allowed the users of Lime to do as they pleased. Councillors Butt and Krupa Sheth, responsible for this fiasco, clearly failed as the Lime bikes continue to be a nuisance for residents across Brent. Either Lime or Butt/Sheth should go - or possibly all 3 as they are responsible for this cock up.

You should be able to report direct to Lime. My view is that any provider should have a ‘contact telephone number’ for problems to be sorted. It should not be made complicated for us.

Cllr Lorber has had this message: Councillor Lorber

Thank you for your report of 3rd January 2025.

Lime are arranging for their ranger team to visit and to retrieve the bike.
